I’m so so so excited to be partnering with Lou & Grey– a new branded collection from LOFT. There’s a LOFT just down the street from me in the city and I walk by it about four times a day. I pop in all the time to see what’s new, especially when the window displays catch my eye. The new Lou & Grey collection is absolutely amazing.
In one word: soft.
In two words: soft and comfortable.
In three words: soft and comfortable and chic.
Seriously, the dresses are perfect for walking the dog in the morning, working from home during the day, and running out to grab lunch with a friend. Weekend wear for the girls with 9-5 business suit jobs… and the best alternative to jeans/sweats for the college girl.
I bought a handful of the dresses and shirts yesterday and immediately changed into this striped drawstring dress. It’s been so hot and humid here that I never know what to wear and it was so comfortable for running around Soho!

Guess what! I’m going to be at the Lou & Grey concept store in Westport, CT (15 Main Street) this Thursday from 5-7pm and would love to shop with and meet you!
Anything that is soft, comfortable, and chic is right up my alley!! All the prints and styles look amazing (ahem stripes!). Thanks for introducing me to this new line!
All throughout high school I've dressed quite sloppily, but now that I'm about to start college, I want to revamp my wardrobe into something more mature/professional/smart[-casual], but I still want it to be comfortable enough so that it doesn't take too much effort to get dressed in the morning, otherwise I'd fall back into dressing like a hobo hahah. Anyways, thanks for introducing this, because boy do I need something soft&comfy&chic!!! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
Not trying to be mean but Lou+Grey is not new. This may be a new collection from them but LOFT has been selling it for close to a year. In fact, I freaked out a little bit when I couldn't find their "lounge" leggings online only to realize later that they'd been re-branded.
My favorite clothes are from this line! I love the LOFT because they have petite and basically my entire closet is from there (bought on clearance because I'm in college)!
These are really nice! I like the chambray dress. I wonder how successful they'll be in competing with stores like Madewell who go after the same aesthetic. So far, I'd say they're doing pretty well–the rosy photographs are nice and I like the logo. It will be interesting to see where they go with it–I hope in time they'll be able to introduce some more structured pieces.
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you. From mugs to framed prints to calendars filled with favorite memories, it’s the little things that make gifts unforgettable. 🎁 Use code CARLY40 now through 12/18/24 for 40% off + free shipping on orders $40+!* Make something that means something this holiday season! #shutterflypartner
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical) – @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!) – @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair) – @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine: – @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen – @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1) – @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay) – @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly) – @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose) – @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony) – @honest Extreme Length Mascara – @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition) – @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using: – Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items – Google docs for writing/brainstorming – Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...) – Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs – Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines – Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner

Looks so comfortable! I like to hang around my house in pretty, but comfortable clothes so this would be perfect!

My favorite clothes are from this line! I love the LOFT because they have petite and basically my entire closet is from there (bought on clearance because I'm in college)!
These are really nice! I like the chambray dress. I wonder how successful they'll be in competing with stores like Madewell who go after the same aesthetic. So far, I'd say they're doing pretty well–the rosy photographs are nice and I like the logo. It will be interesting to see where they go with it–I hope in time they'll be able to introduce some more structured pieces.
